PER CURIAM:
Thomas J. Ayers appeals the district court’s order granting Defendants’ motions to
compel arbitration, dismissing his civil action, and ordering that he arbitrate his claims.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s order. Ayers v. Markiewicz, No. 5:23-cv-00442-D-BM (E.D.N.C. May 9,
2024). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are
adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
